In his words, the constant comparisons between him and his twin brother, Paul Okoye, created tension and fueled egos. Fans often picked sides, praising one brother over the other, which caused division. Peter Okoye expressed his frustration clearly, saying, “Fans are the reasons Psquare no dey together today. Two brothers dey do one thing, ona dey talk say one better pass one, e con enter one head, he begin misbehave. If ona like make ona dey go house, I no send una.” His message was direct and emotional, leaving no doubt about who he blames.
Twin Brothers Peter and Paul performing on stage as PSquare
PSquare, made up of twin brothers Peter and Paul, was one of Nigeria’s most successful music acts. Known for their electrifying performances and hit Afrobeats tracks, they ruled the airwaves for years and built a loyal fan base across Africa. However, things started to fall apart behind the scenes, and tensions became public.
In 2017, the duo officially went their separate ways after years of internal conflicts and public feuds. Their elder brother, Jude Okoye, managed them during their career and also owned a significant share in their label, PClassic Records. He was often at the center of the disputes that strained their relationship.
Peter’s recent statement gives fans a new perspective on the breakup. While many blamed management or family drama, he believes fan behavior played a major role. The situation shows how outside pressure can affect even the closest relationships.
Although a full reunion still seems uncertain, PSquare’s legacy in the Nigerian music scene remains strong. Their impact on Afrobeats and African pop culture continues to be felt today.
